If you love defense, the just completed Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots Super Bowl featured lots of defense and notably—a dominate performance from the Seahawks.
The Seahawks would go onto beatdown the Patriots 29-13, and the only thing left as the game concluded was to see which advertiser had the best commercial. Unlike the game, which determines winners and losers through competition, the best commercial is a matter of opinion and there are likely to be some differences of opinion.
Following the game, the New York Times did a ranking of Super Bowl commercials that includes a list of more than 50 commercials.
Do you agree with the New York Times, or do you have a different choice? A quick poll of the KMB Communications team finds Lisa Montgomery pointing to the Lay’s potato chip commercial as her favorite commercial.
“My favorite was the Lays potato chip commercial. As a farm girl, I could relate to the woman reflecting on her childhood experiences with her dad harvesting potatoes,” comments Montgomery.
“The moment he retires and hands the “keys” to the farm to her brought tears to my eyes … and a hankering for potato chips.”
Bob Archer, the newest member of team KMB Communications, says the Dunkin Donuts commercial with Ben Affleck, Tom Brady and Jennifer Aniston, was his favorite.
“The 1990s-influenced ‘Good Will Hunting’ parody was fun with several nods to classic sitcoms including ‘Friends,’ ‘Family Matters,’ ‘Seinfeld,’ and ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,’” notes Archer.
“I thought the commercial was creative and funny.”
